Text Editing
 Can anyone recommend a text editor that a non-hacker can use to clean up format conversions? Have converted a number of .lit files to.epub. Really don't want the anberlit converter blurbs in the middle of text. Also it would be nice to clean up mistakes and the "?-"s. I don't write code.

Are you looking for a simple text editor (in which case Notepad which is included with Windows is perfectly usable for light use) or a full WYSIWYG HTML editor? I'm assuming Windows because you don't say otherwise.

 The calibre creator, Kovid Goyal, is extremely responsive in the calibre forums, as are all the calibre developers! calibre has a regex function that can be used to remove the items of which you speak. A search of the calibre forum will reveal many suggestions. If you haven't already, visiting there would provide some assistance.

BTW, you'll probably find some good discussions of EPUB editing in the EPUB forum. A search there will produce a lot of info and opinions. As a short list, depending on what OS you use: If you really want a "text editor" for the chore then I would recommend that you look at Notepad++ combined with the WebEdit plugin. If you want more of a "word processor" class of app then look into Sigil. It is a native EPUB editor that will handle all of the arcane magical steps necessary for dealing with EPUB's special archive characteristics and the various special accessory files present in the EPUB archive bundle. IMHO its the best way for someone new to the EPUB format to start out. There's a special Sigil forum here on MR. As mentioned in another post, calibre can deal with some filtering during conversion. It does require that you get up to speed with RegEx and do a bit of trial-and-terror experimenting with your RegEx expression to find what works with your particular document. |
